As if an African kingdom of old, Damara Mopane Lodge is constructed in a semi-circle of interlinking pathways leading to a lavish swimming pool at its centre. Innovatively designed, each chalet has its own small garden planted with vegetables.

Epupa Camp consists of nine luxury safari-style tents erected on stone platforms, each with two single beds and en-suite bathroom. All tents have electricity and mosquito netting and an outside, shaded balcony overlooking the tranquil Kunene River. Large makalani palms overhead provide welcome shade from the midday sun.

Kunene River Lodge is situated in Kaokoland, 50 km west of Ruacana Falls and 100 km east of Epupa Falls. Since taking over the Lodge in 2005, Pete and Hillary Morgan have devoted themselves to improving its facilities, and building on the reputation of the Lodge in this uniquely remote and tranquil corner of Namibia.

This is a small, friendly guest house located directly in Kamanjab, and is the only establishment actually in that town. It is the perfect base for Himba tours, and is also an ideal location before heading on up to Epupa Falls.

Set at the headwaters of the Hoanib River. This region provides a vital corridor between Etosha National Park to the east and the desert plains to the west. Mimicking the contrast between the harsh surroundings and the lush natural springs. Omatendeka Lodge offers a welcome refuge to the discerning visitors.

Situated a stone's throw from Ondangwa, north of the world famous Etosha National Park, Ongula Village Homestead Lodge offers an experience like no other in Namibia. Here you are taken on a cultural journey, exploring traditional Namibian practices, as you meander through fields of mahangu (pearl millet), rest next to Makalani palm trees and visit traditional homes encircled by palisade walls.

The Kaokoveld, Kunene Region: Rugged mountains, dry river courses and solid 4x4 country associated with names like van Zyl's Pass, Hartmann Mountains, Marienfluss, Epupa, Ruacana and Swartboois Drift. A land vast and uninhabited, a wilderness in its own right where pockets of wildlife roam freely.

The Uukwaluudhi Safari lodge is ± 85km east from Opuwo and easily reached in a 2 x 4 sedan vehicle, but if your tour/route would take you into Kaokoland and Damaraland you might want to consider using a 4x4 vehicle, especially during the rainy season.
